How to use the Audio to Video Converter

Choose the audio file, typically an MP3 or WAV of a podcast episode, a song or a voice memo.

Choose an image to use as the picture: cover art, a logo or a simple title card. A 16:9 image fills the frame best.

Leave the waveform option on if you want a moving visual, then click Create Video and download the MP4 when it finishes.

When to use it

YouTube, and most social platforms, only accept video, so a podcast episode or a music track needs a picture attached before it can be published there. This tool does exactly that conversion, in the browser, without installing a video editor. It is also handy for turning a recorded voice message or a webinar audio track into something that can be shared as a link.

How it works

The page loads a browser build of FFmpeg, the same encoder most desktop video tools use, and runs it on your own device: the image becomes a still video track, the audio is encoded to AAC, and the two are muxed into a standard H.264 MP4 that every platform accepts. Nothing is uploaded. The waveform option renders the audio's amplitude over the image so the picture moves with the sound. Encoding a long episode takes a while, more on a phone than on a laptop, and the tab has to stay open until the download appears.

Worked example

A 25-minute podcast episode as an MP3, plus a 1920 × 1080 title card showing the show name and episode number. With the waveform on, the result is a 25-minute video with a still card and a moving bar of audio, which is exactly what YouTube and LinkedIn want from a podcast and what neither will accept as a bare audio file. A square 1080 × 1080 cover would be padded with borders; make a 16:9 card in the image resizer first.

Common mistakes

A portrait or square image. Video frames are 16:9; anything else gets borders.

Closing the tab during encoding. The work is lost; there is no server-side job to come back to.

Text near the edges of the card. Platforms crop previews; keep titles in the middle 80%.

Expecting a file smaller than the audio. Video is always larger; a 30 MB podcast becomes a file several times that size.

Current limitation

The Create Video step is not working reliably at the moment; the problem is listed on the updates page and will be noted there when it is fixed. Until then, desktop video editors and the upload tools of the platforms themselves (YouTube accepts an audio file plus a still image through some third-party services) are the alternatives.

Good to know

The encoding runs on your own device using a browser build of FFmpeg, so a long episode takes a while and a laptop will be faster than a phone. Files are not uploaded. The output is a standard H.264 MP4 with AAC audio, which every platform accepts.
